EOS Projects From Practice

AM for the Series Production in Medical

Additive Manufacturing is transforming the medical industry. It accelerates development, enables patient-specific care, strengthens supply-chain resilience, and supports scalable production of certified devices.

EOS is Your Proven AM Partner for Medical Applications for Metal & Polymer

AM gives manufacturers a powerful way to accelerate development, reduce risk, and deliver highly customized, clinically optimized devices at scale. From orthopedics to cranio-maxillofacial care, clinicians and patients benefit from improved fit, faster recovery, and enhanced osseointegration - while manufacturers gain shorter lead times, flexible production capacity, and consistent, repeatable quality.

Faster to market: development cycles reduced from years to months
Better clinical outcomes: up to 50% more bone-to-implant contact at 2 weeks
On-demand, local manufacturing: lower inventory needs and reduced supply-chain risk
Proven serial production: 500+ EOS M 290 medical systems operating worldwide

3D Printing Applications in Medical

SUCCESS STORY

EOS Enables a New Step Forward

Team member receives double hip replacement featuring 3D-printed bone-growth geometry.

3D printed titanium implants simplify hip replacement surgery and improve patient outcomes. Advanced technology has helped make hip replacement an important option for younger patients - like Everlee.

3D printed surface geometry encourages fusion with bone
Price of 3D printed implants has come down, so some hospitals now use it as standard
Implant technology has helped make hip replacement easier and more accessible
